Rule Adoption ​​

As you were previously advised, on May 21, 2018 the regulations requiring Health Care Service Firms to become accredited, were adopted.

This NOTICE is to clarify the confusion regarding recipients of Medicaid vs private pay firms.

Please be advised, that if you are a Health Care Service Firm registered with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, you must be accredited with an accrediting body approved by the Commissioner of the Department of Human Services. (A list of these accrediting bodies can be viewed on the Division’s website at www.NJConsumerAffairs.gov/hcservice, under “Health Care Service Firms”)

Pursuant to P.L. 2014, c. 29 ALL Health Care Service Firms are to obtain accreditation. The law does not make a distinction between health care service firms that receive Medicaid funding and those that do not. ALL Health Care Services Firms are to obtain accreditation regardless of the medical services they provide or the sources of reimbursement.
